Breitling, the Swiss watchmaker, has undergone a major upheaval in the past few years since Georges Kern, its recently appointed chief executive, made it his mission to reinvent the brand. There are many interesting and noteworthy model releases, some continuing the company’s new direction in the most advanced wearable technology, but others almost at the other end of the spectrum — classic and elegant models, agile in favor of elegant restrained spirit in typical masculine design language.
One such watch is the replica Breitling Premier B01, a 42mm timepiece inspired by 1940s timepieces, but breathtakingly detailed and versatile. Curved ears and low profile cases keep pieces beautifully balanced on the wrist, while multi-step polished bezels add subtlety and welcome to the design flourish. The company’s first internal timing movement, the cosc-certified cal. b01, is considered one of the best of its kind in recent years.  
In 18k red gold, it is a stainless steel model that offers the most comprehensive versatility. The blue and bentley green dial is definitely a striking color, but the black and white panda is a favorite, a wonderful retro that really captures the essence of Breitling itself. From a great form, Breitling’s premier B01 chronograph is an excellent choice from a variety of men’s luxury watches currently available.
